  • Description: <jats:title>Nicotinamide mononucleotide increases muscle insulin sensitivity in prediabetic women</jats:title> <jats:p> Yoshino <jats:italic>et al</jats:italic> . (Reports, 11 June 2021, p. 1224) have reported that nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) increases muscle insulin sensitivity in prediabetic women. However, the 13 women who received NMN had hepatic lipid content of 6.3 ± 1.2%, whereas the 12 in the placebo group had 14.8 ± 2.0% ( <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.003). Given that a target of NMN is liver fat clearance, this was not an effectively randomized trial. </jats:p>
